Canadian citizens need a passport, onward or return airline ticket, confirmed hotel booking and proof of sufficient funds to enter Mauritius. Passport validity must be six months beyond the intended travel.

Visas for tourism and business are issued upon arrival at the airport. Visas issued at the airport allow foreign travelers to stay in Mauritius up to 90 days.

Travelers coming from yellow fever infected areas must present a certification of yellow fever vaccination. Failure to do so may lead to on-the-spot immunization.

For Canadians who are staying for more than 90 days, it is advisable to obtain a visa prior to traveling. Visas can be obtained at the High Commission for the Republic of Mauritius based in Washington, DC.
